"What's the matter Sam?"

    "If I take another step I will be the farthest away from home I've ever been."

    Before another word could be said there was a bolt of lightning, and a clap of thunder.  When the thunder faded Frodo and Sam stood up and looked around.

    "Are you alright mister Frodo?" Asked Sam

    "Yes Sam I'm fine. How about you?"

    "I'm fine.  Where do you think that lightning came from there's no clouds in the sky."  Said Sam looking up at the sky.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Jocelyn^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Jocelyn stood up and brushed her self off her pants which were wet but other than that she was fine.

    "Damn you Max what could you have possibly been thinking didn't you see the thunder clouds. Max?"

    Jocelyn looked around her but she did not see Max anywhere.  Instead she found her self being watched by two Hobbits.  She looked at them closely yes they definitely were Hobbits.  It was Frodo and Sam they looked just like the characters in the move.

    "Hello." Said Jocelyn a little insertion of what she should do or say.  She knew that she probably looked strange to them.

    "Hello." Replied the Hobbits.

    There was a long silence in which time Frodo seemed to remember his manners.

    "My name is Frodo Baggins and this is Sam Gamgee."

    "Hello my name is Jocelyn Johnson.  I'm a friend of Gandalfs"

    "Yes I remember."  Said Sam  "Gandalf said you would be joining us."

    "Gandalf told you I was coming?"

    "Yes, he said you were going to help us."

    "That maybe but before we get going did you happen to see a young man about 18 years of age, about 6 ft and who has blue streak in his hair."

    "You are the only person we have seen all day." Replied Frodo.

    Jocelyn nodded her head "Damn you Max why did you have to go and stand in a pond blowing bubbles with a lightning storm coming, you knew you were the tallest thing out there.''      

    "Why was he standing in a pond blowing bubbles?" Asked Sam.    

    "Because he's a freak that can't do anything with out getting into trouble." 

    "We should keep on walking." Said Frodo. "Perhaps we will find him on the way."

    "For the sake of your world I hope we find him soon."

    "Is he a wizard?" Asked Sam.

    "No he's just a very disturbed young man."

    Sam nodded his head not sure if he wanted to ask any further questions.  After gathering her stuff Jocelyn and the two Hobbits continued their journey.  They spent the rest of the day walking and looking for Max.  A little before dark they stopped and made camp.  They were just about to eat when they heard the sound of singing from the road a little ways away.  The trio snuck up to the path to get a look at who were singing.  They hid themselves behind a log as they watched a group of elves pass by.

    "They're headed to the gray haves to board a boat and sail to the undying lands." Explained Frodo.

    Jocelyn was not paying attention to what was being said she was just too mesmerized by the site of the elves.  The site of them reminded her of how people described angels.  The elves had an unearthly glow about them and were the most beautiful people she had ever seen tall and elegant.  Jocelyn could not help but feel a loss at their passing Middle Earth would never be the same with out them. After the elves had passed the trio walked back to their camp and ate their diner in silence.  That night Jocelyn fell asleep thinking how lucky she was to be in Middle Earth and to have seen the elves.                      

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    "What the hell was that for, Jocelyn?!'' yelled Max, as he began to try and stand.

    It had been a hard landing, practically knocking out the air in him. He had no idea that his cousin could tackle so hard. She was even better at it then some of the guys back home.

    Finally climbing to his feet Max took a quick look around him, and what he saw left him speechless, a first, for about a second.

    "Oh my bob. I had no idea… I mean …. I didn't know they were shooting the Lord of the Rings here.''

    In case your beginning to wonder about what Max was seeing let me tell you. Max was standing in the middle of what seemed to be a set from the Lord of the Rings movies. It had the small campfire with guys cooking, it had the weapons, it had the clothing, it had the characters and sadly, thought Max, it had the bad smell he thought he would find had these characters in front of him been real.

    But that didn't really bother him one bit. Not at all he was to happy thinking about how jealous his friend would be when she found out that he had been at a Lord of the Rings set.

    Max was looking at the characters in awe. They were the villains in the movie, but who cared? They had some of the best looking makeup.

    Damn if only I had a camera or something, Cat is never going to believe this. Well, well, well what do we have here? I'm sure Jocelyn wont mind me borrowing this.

    With that Max bent down to pick up the digital camera that he had just accidentally kicked while trying to walk forward, to check out a particularly gruesome looking orc slash actor.

    Turning it on Max turned to the actors and asked, "Hey you guys don't mind if I take a picture do you. Cat is going to be so jealous.''

    Without waiting for a reply Max turned the camera to face a orc who happened to be starting to get up, and took a picture using the flash.

    "Sexy kind of.'' Said Max.

   The flash seemed to daze the actor because he froze right where he was. Max didn't care much because he was busy trying to take more pictures.

    "O.k. could you scoot to the left a little so I can get that guy in the picture too?'' said Max pointing at one of them.

    But sadly no one was moving for Max.

    "Hey-''

    Before he could finish the one that had been in the process of rising finally did and was now shouting orders.

    "Kill the wizard! Kill him!'' he said while pointing at Max.

    "That's good. Let out your anger. Yes, yes, yesss…now can you move over to the right a bit the fire is sort of blocking the way.'' Said Max who now had the camera glued to one eye.

    "Oh, yes come at me! You're all so pretty, just so pretty. Hey back up you're to close. Hey-'' said Max as he ducked out of the way of an oncoming orc.

    Hitting the floor and jumping back up Max said, "What the hell? Your sword thingy could have seriously hurt me, and then I would have had to sue you. What is your problem people are you mental or something? I'm not a damn actor!''

    None of the actors seemed to be paying an attention to Max, because they all seemed to be trying to kill him at the moment.

    "Hey I am not a practice toy!'' yelled Max as he dodged and ducked the swords swinging his way.

    He just didn't seem to get the fact that these people or orcs were really intent on causing him bodily harm, and possibly molestation.

    If you're wondering why he has lasted so long against it's because he took martial arts classes for a while. So the training was helping him very much so.

    "Hey that was my arm you tosser!'' Yelled Max as a sword cut into him about an inch.

    Max finally getting the picture, well most of it anyway, started to fight back with a few kicks and punches of his own. Which didn't help very much because it didn't seem to have an affect on the so-called actors. They just laughed in his face.

    "Ahhh!'' yelled Max as another sword caught him on the side of his face.

    Jumping and coming down with a kick Max managed to get a sword away from one of the actors. It was a good thing he had been taught to use one other wise he would have been cat food by now, or in this case orc food.

    Sweating and swinging the sword he felt it hit something solid. All his practices couldn't have prepared him for the scream that came from that object. Mostly because in all his practices he had never hurt or possibly killed someone.

    Max, though, was way beyond caring what happened to the actors in front of him. After all they were trying to kill him. Plus there was the fact that they might in fact succeed because one there was a lot more of them then there was of him, and two he was starting to go blind, due to the fact that the blood from the cut on his face was leaking into his eyes.

    While he was swinging away at anything that moved in front of him, Max failed to see the arrows that were raining down on the orcs, from the forest.

    When Max could no longer see anything moving in front of him he stopped swinging his sword and moved to wipe his eyes on his sleeves.    

    Blinking he made to wipe his eyes again because he wanted to make sure he was seeing what he was seeing.

    Which sadly he was.

    ''Great possibly more psychotic actors, bob help me.'' Said Max as he looked at the people who were now surrounding him.

    The only thing that was different from the first set of actors was the fact that these actors were dressed like elves.
